I ran SETI until I got rid of the PC to move to Mac. I downloaded BOINC but it will not let me use my e-mail address. It returns only "check e-mail address and password." Not too helpful. What to do?

Make a password on the Seti site.
Fill in your password twice.
Save with the button there.
Then try again with your email address and your newly set password.

Else just use the New user option, fill in the password you sed for Seti classic (if it's still active) and a password.

This is the Boinc website. Go to the Seti website.

If you were previously attached to Boinc-Seti try to log in. If it still give you an error and you're sure your using the correct email, get Seti to send you the information.
Enter your email and
if you have previously set a password use the link 'Forgot password'
or
if you were using an account key use 'If you don't know your account key, click here' link.

If you have not previously crunched using Boinc but you are a returning Seti-Classic user you can activate your Seti account using this page to Transfer SETI@home Classic account to Boinc-Seti. This page offers several posible ways of activating your classic account depending your specific situation.

Boinc V 7.4.36
Win7 i5 3.33G 4GB NVidia 470
